*Start with sizing the UC apps by using the following links. This will determine which Collaboration apps you need, compatible versions and for each app how many UC virtual machines are needed and which virtual machine configurations to use.

This site covers Virtualization support in Cisco Unified Communications System release versions '''8.0(2) and higher'''.

-

Current virtualization support is "Cisco Unified Communications on Cisco Unified Computing System", or [http://www.cisco.com/go/uconucs "UC on UCS" ]. It is the combination of Cisco Collaboration with Cisco Data Center 3.0 to provide improved business agility and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) through server consolidation, operational efficiency and scale, improved business continuity, and greater investment leverage.

Plan/Design Information

Use the following as a "workflow" to arrive at a design.

Start with sizing the UC apps by using the following links. This will determine which Collaboration apps you need, compatible versions and for each app how many UC virtual machines are needed and which virtual machine configurations to use.

Mixed deployments of virtual, nonvirtual, Cisco-provided, and customer-provided servers are supported provided you follow all design guide rules, sizing tool rules and support policy rules on this site.
